Github Releases Workflow

Questions
1

Hello, I have this workflow to check for github releases. It triggers every day at 23:59 and checks for last item in RSS release feed. Sometimes it works but sometimes when there is a new release (for example, it didn’t trigger for the new release of n8n) it doesn’t go for True path. Can you check for me?

Tested this and manually it works for true and false.

One failure scenario could be if the if check does not check every day.

2021-04-02 23:59 cron triggered, if check runs and returns false
2021-04-03 07:00 n8n release
2021-04-03 23:59 cron triggered
<network delay, or maybe cron starts near the end of the minute>
2021-04-04 00:00 if check runs and returns false

You could experiment by setting a different cron time.

Maybe an issue with the timezone? I can see the N executions of the workflow, checking the day it should have been triggered theres no flow to True path. The workflow was launched an ended aprox. 23:59:20.
